    Blind Are The People

    Another throw off of the edge
    Abandons flow--away the pledge;
    Morality etches at the brain
    While the guilty play a game.
    But what is wrong shall change in time,
    And no longer be a sinful crime,
    Throwing our world over the edge
    Into a place devoid of sin.
    The angels overhead concede
    For the lies are buried deep within.
    The fibers of existance bleed
    Until we find a way to see.

    "But what is wrong shall change in time, And no longer be a sinful crime." Is what is "wrong" changing to good, or the perception of what is labeled "wrong" becoming acceptance? I like this one but it's kind of throwing me off a bit...but that's o.k. it's poetry.

    The answer to your question is answered if you continue reading: "The Angels overhead concede for the lies are buried deep within." What is "bad" becomes "good" in people's minds...

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
